Favorite places I've been: - El Remate, Guatemala (diving into the pastel pink waters of Peten Itza at sunset).
- Playa Popoyo, Nicaragua (watching a mother tortuga waddle up to the beach to lay her eggs deep in the sand).
- Spain (bicycling 350 kilometers from Barcelone to Valencia).
- Montañita, Ecuador (waiting for a good set of waves by 'La Punta").
- Machu Picchu, Peru (scrambling to visit all the ruins and hikes before the day was over).
- Sulawesi, Indonesia (ping-pong on the beach, and watching local fishermen arrive with octopi on a stick and a string of red snappers).
- Pokhara, Nepal (trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp in my striped Cat-In-The-Hat hat).
- Arches National Park, Utah (waking up to the sunrise, and rolling up our tents in record time so we wouldn't get caught).
- Anchorage, Alaska (skiing the Spencer Loop or Coastal Trail by moonlight).
Places I want to go to: Morocco, Turkey, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Chile, Argentina
About me: Home-grown Alaskan. My mom is Malaysian and my dad is American/Scottish. I used to be a hard-core cross-country skier back in my high school/college days, training once or twice daily between classes. Skiing was my life, but now I'm basically wandering around wherever my opportunities arise as a college educated, adventurous, and always optimistic citizen of the world.
